Psychology without the soul is insufficient to touch and heal others. Each person wants to be touched deeply and to do this, we need to go inward to hear the moment we are in. Ram Dass wrote a book entitled BE HERE NOW. To be HERE NOW implies that the past is not now nor is the future. The past and future are constructs of our mind and are not the real moment. The present moment is eternity because NOW never ends, and if you can rest in pure awareness, not fretting about the past or the future, then you are living from your AWAKENED SELF. But don’t beat yourself up if you are not always magnanimous! As humans, we need our ego because that is the result of our upbringing and the cultural and societal molding of our soul. The soul’s job is to recognize this. The soul is that part of us that is beyond all the games that we have learned to play. Our soul sees the ego’s game, has a chuckle, and in the process we “see” where we have slipped back into living from the ego again. We catch ourselves living out the stories that we believe are a part of our lives. Our soul stands back, observes and chuckles, as Ram Dass would describe. “There I go again living out the ‘I always get left out!” myth that I learned was my truth growing up. Am I ready to drop that game now?” We live with both the ego and soul at work, learning what we need to unlearn and let go of in our lives. When we can let things go, we rest in the Here and Now with peace and equanimity.
